What's the hells an oxbow?! Are our bovine friends fashioning weaponry? Someone should tell me, do I need to buy a shield?

Oxbow is when a flowing body of water curves out like this over time. Eventually it will redirect to the older, more direct course, leaving an arc of unflowing water called an oxbow lake. This one might have two.
